For the third annual Generic Day I decided to leave the celebration at a minimum, since I had such a blow-out last year. Are you doing anything to celebrate?

Blah.
I think that’s all that’s necessary for generic day.
Have a day.
I forgot about it entirely until someone brought it up during 6th period. Then I was going to go eat something kind of unusual, but by then it was so late in the day, I figured I might as well just do something even more generic for next year. Or not.

What is generic day?
Glad you asked! This is what I posted last year:

What is Generic Day?
Generic Day is a day set aside to act as a black hole for the horribly generic aspects of other holidays. It is a day in which we act as generic as possible as to avoid things such as trinkets, cheap plastic decorations, light up Jesuses, tinted beer, and defecation of animals on other holidays. By being generic on this one day I hope to remove all the modern calcium deposits which have gathered on holidays. Things such as those generic pre-made baskets at Easter, generic 25 per box valentines on Valentines day, and generic light-up deer that gather by the dozens in peoples yards come Christmas time. Generic day strives to throw as much as possible in one day so that everyone may get back to the traditions and true meanings of holidays.
How do I celebrate Generic Day?
By being generic as possible, of course. It is a time to create traditions among life-long friends and family members. You can do whatever you feel is necessary in order to participate. Our tradition usually consists of the Extinguishing of the Generic Cake (decorated with a generic amount of holiday icons) with the Generic Pepperoni Roll, the Christmas Ornament Hunt, a Generic Form of Entertainment, and our newest tradition which is the Destruction of a Paper Mache Icon from a different holiday which we shall determine later. First and foremost, however, is to just have fun and enjoy times with friends and family all the while venting your anger from horribly generic modern trends of holidays.
It sounds like it has more importance than it really does. Really, it is just an excuse to play with trinkets one more day than usual.
Wahey! Another excuse to put off my work and read the SDMB, then!
I find this thread completely sufficient, yet somehow less expensive than all the others.
I will celebrate by eating and enjoying this pretzel rod (but not enjoying it too much).
I love Generic Day!
It’s my favorite Holiday!
We all get to dress up in festive White with Black Barcodes…
